Helped me make sense of the variety of images in the Bible.

Excellent book. Is the Bible a "blueprint" or a "collage"? We are usually familiar with the arguments from the blueprint model. This book helped me understand a bit about the "collage" model. I found it of utmost value in helping me understand the complex and often contradictory images in the Bible. Five Stars.
